A box of 20 chocolates, 4 are cream-filled. What is the probability of randomly selecting a cream-filled chocolate?
A. 4/18 ≈ 22%
B. 4/20 = 20%
C. 4/16 = 25%
D. 16/20 = 80%

Respuesta :

Answer:

the correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

4 goes into 20 5 times and 20 goes into 100 5 times as in 20x5=100 therefore it is 20%

The probability of randomly selecting a cream-filled chocolate is option (B) 4/20 = 20%.

Probability

Probability is the ratio of the fovourable outcome to the total outcomes.

Total number of chocolates in the box is 20 and total number of cream-filled chocolates are 4.

How to find the probability?

Favourable number of outcomes is cream-filled chocolate i.e., [tex]4[/tex]

Total number of outcomes are [tex]20[/tex]

Probability of randomly selecting a cream-filled chocolate is-

[tex]P=\dfrac{4}{20}\times 100\\ \text { }=20\%[/tex]

As a result, option B is the correct answer.
